Projects & Experiments

Headline: Building the Future of Commerce in Chicago

As the founder and lead organizer, I envisioned and brought the Future of Commerce summit to life through my work with the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce. As a premier event during TECHICAGO WEEK, my goal was to create a unique platform that moves beyond theory and into action. I led the effort to convene a powerful mix of innovative vendors, public officials, small business owners, and community residents from across the country to Englewood. This summit is the culmination of my commitment to fostering economic opportunity by connecting emerging technology with grassroots entrepreneurship, building a collaborative blueprint for a more equitable and connected future.
